Monday Running Update

Last Week:

Monday – Another trip to NYC with two friends on a steamy day. We went on a history/eating tour of Nolita (Northern Little Italy). It was a lot of fun and boy was the food good. Then we took a tour of the Tenement Museum which was very interesting.

Tuesday – I skipped my AM tennis in favor of a run. It wasn’t great but I needed to burn off of some calories. I did play tennis in the evening.

on the Corning Bike Path

Wednesday – Went for a walk and out to lunch with my BFF. Spent hours catching up and then I met Alyssa for a run. I haven’t run this well in a while. We are a good match because we push each other.

Thursday – I played tennis early in the am and then had a hair appointment. I went for a short run in between the two.

Friday – Lots of gardening today which tired me out. So no tennis, no walking, no running. But since I was hosting mah jongg I had to shop and clean.

Saturday – Very hot day and I ran a 5k. Even stopped on the way home to drag myself through 3 more miles.

met lots of friends and placed 3rd in my AG

it was slow…I didn’t want to do it…it was 90 degrees but it’s done

Sunday – Spent the whole day on the water. (Except for a long hike on land along the lake. Had to get my 10k steps.)

An eating tour? Yes, please! I love the pic of you in the float at the lake. Nothing better. Congrats on your third place award! I can’t imagine running a 5k right now…oh yeah — I just did that last weekend during a Tri. But for some reason, that feels very different. I certainly did not receive an award. 😦 Thanks for linking, Darlene!
